Herbicidal concentrate compositions containing a combination of herbicides are provided. In particular, the present invention relates to aqueous herbicidal concentrate compositions containing a particulate encapsulated acetanilide herbicide and a protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor (PPO inhibitor).

Aqueous herbicidal concentrates

Methods of reducing injury to crop foliage and achieving weed control using encapsulated acetamide herbicides are described. Herbicidal microcapsules comprising herbicide core material and a shell wall encapsulating the core material are also described. The microcapsules provide reduced crop injury through controlled herbicide release.

Encapsulation of herbicides to reduce crop injury

This invention relates generally to improved methods and herbicidal glyphosate compositions for use in controlling the growth of weeds and unwanted vegetation, and particularly for use in controlling weeds in a crop of transgenic glyphosate-tolerant cotton plants by over-the-top, foliar application of a herbicidal glyphosate formulation.

Mitigating necrosis in transgenic glyphosate-tolerant cotton plants treated with herbicidal glyphosate formulations

Herbicidal compositions are provided which cause rapid symptomology while delivering long term control of regrowth of plants. The herbicidal concentrate compositions comprise N-phosphonomethylglycine or a herbicidal derivative thereof, an auxin herbicide or a herbicidal derivative thereof, and at least one surfactant. Also provided is a method for killing or controlling the growth of certain plants by contacting the foliage of the plants with the diluted concentrate composition.

Herbicidal compositions containing N-phosphonomethyl glycine and an auxin herbicide

A herbicidal composition is provided comprising an aqueous solution of N-phosphonomethylglycine, predominantly in the form of the potassium salt thereof, at a concentration of at least 300 g a.e./l of the composition; and a surfactant component in solution or stable suspension, emulsion, or dispersion in the water, comprising one or more surfactants in a total amount of about 20 to about 300 g/l of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 250 centipoise at 0&#xb0; C. or a Gardner color value less than 10.

Surfactants and formulations

The present invention generally relates to herbicidal compositions comprising a herbicide, an etheramine alkoxylate surfactant, an alkylamine alkoxylate surfactant having a high degree of alkoxylation and compatibilizer comprising, in some embodiments, an alkylamine alkoxylate surfactant having a low degree of alkoxylation or an alkylpolyglucoside surfactant. The herbicidal compositions are herbicidally efficacious and cause low eye irritation and low crop injury.

Herbicide formulations containing an etheramine and alkylamine alkoxylate surfactant system

The present invention generally relates to a process for preparing the alkoxylated alkylamines and/or alkyl ether amines. The process consists of three stages, and utilizes an alkali catalyst. The alkoxylated alkyl amines and alkoxylated alkyl ether amines prepared by the process possess the peaked distribution and contain less hazardous by-product.
